Navy dress, Liza Reitz
Kimono silk pumps, Faryl Robin Suzu
Bangles, Fringe Boutique
Earrings, Midtown Global Market
Still too warm for true autumnal dressing. I wonder if all the kiddies are going to be schvitzing in their Halloween costumes this year …
So I’ve got origami-like folds on my dress, cherry blossom cut-out earrings, and kimono-style silk pumps. Does that mean I’ve developed a whole new category of matchy-matchy?
I’ve belted this dress in the past, but I liked it plain in this mix. It lets the shoes and the earrings shine a little brighter!
Just recently started following you. Love your style. Cute dress!
Fabulous dress — and I love all the color in the shoes.

You look like a princess! Beautiful!
You look AMAZING! I love the Japanese theme of the outfit and the details of the dress.
Fabulous outfit. I love the shoes.
Oh wow, the details on that dress are divine! How darling! While I could see it working with the belt, I think it looks awesome without.
Dayum! Your legs look amazing!
Those shoes are brilliant with your tat. Love it! And that dress if fantastic.
Everyone is commenting on the Weather!!!Sign of the times?Yet once more simple is the best.Nice earrings.
Sal, this has made me curious for ages: how do the colors and styles of your tattoos factor into your sartorial choices? I know you've posted on the tats a bit before, but I can't remember you ever talking about how they work in your style (which they definitely do).
Additionally, I'd love to see you post on how to incorporate constant pieces (be they ink, wedding bands, or friendship bracelets) into personal style.
P.S. this look is gorgeous.
I remember back when you were contemplating getting this dress… You chose well! I'm amazed every time I see you in it.
Love the simplicity of the dress with the print shoes. And the lines of that dress are fantastic!
Esti: You know, I've had people ask that before and honestly? My tattoos are lost to familiarity. I don't dress around them or consciously think about matching them to my outfits. Since I adore bright, colorful ink and one-color-themed designs, it would be SO limiting to dress to my tattoos. So I don't. When they match what I'm wearing, BONUS! When they don't, I don't worry. The green one is most visible, and since it's a leafy-green design I suppose I think of it like a stem and the rest of my outfit like a flower. (Cheesy, I know!)
I'll put your suggestion of how to incorporate constant pieces into personal style into the queue! That's a great one.
OK. You have some CRAZY COOL style. I'm LOVING on your blog right now! Such a fabulous dress!
That dress is wonderful on you – I love the detailing which lifts it above the ordinary.
I can't tell you how much I LOVE those shoes!! They are fabulous. You look terrific!

I love the dress unbelted – it really made me notice the details of its design. And you're right – it definitely lets those amazing shoes shine!
Those shoes made me squeal with joy. Totally love the outfit.
Well you ARE the mayer of Matchy-Matchytown, after all. I'm glad your matchy repertoire is not limited only to colors!
And orchidsinbuttonholes is right, going beltless places more emphasis on the detailing of the dress, which is really gorgeous.
Lovely.
